There's nothing that comes close to a super satisfying feeling, like stepping on the ice to see it splinter under your shoes, or crunching the crust of freshly baked bread, or scrolling through the dunks on a bigoted gamer after they said they were offended by pride flags.
Call of Shame offers their services as a cheat detector for streamers and content creators who are allegedly using hacks to improve their odds in Call of Duty matches. With over 110,000 subscribers on YouTube and 17 million views across their videos, they were flying high. Emphasis on the "were".
A palate cleanser - here's a grandad rinsing his competitors on Call of Duty: World War II which is his favourite game to play:

What Call of Shame could have done is sit quietly in their corner of the Internet, stats ticking over as per, but no. "I am sick and tired to these LGBTQP+ Bacon Lettuce and tomato flags in MW2. Please add a tickbox stating 'allow them to be shown,'" said Call of Shame in a post to Twitter, citing their "deep Christian views" as the reason that they shouldn't have to see pride flags if they don't want to. The backlash was swift and they responded: "Apparently snowflakes can't handle opinions... I don't care about sexuality, i just want to play Call of duty. I don't like this being forced upon me. My rights are being threatend by activists [sic]."
Personally, I don't recall the freedom to play Call of Duty in the list of rights delineated by the United Nations, and it looks like I'm not alone.
"If you don’t die to them you don’t have to see the flag. Play better," said one. "People will say 'you kids these days wouldn’t survive a MW2 lobby in the old days' and then [lose] it when you die to a man who likes another man," joked another player. Imagine confessing your fear of colours in a line like this.
